I saw a situation where a member here obtained a field-modified 584 panel. The previous owner/installer stripped the first card slot's connector down to just the A battery connections, then wire-wrapped their own connections to the line cards in slots 2-7. Since the first slot is technically the last one with regard to wiring, no daisy-chains had to be broken or extended. It was really a quite creative solution to this dilemma.
